Sharepoint Get Items filter - Error getting a column

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone,

As you can see, I am getting a error message saying that the column ApprovalDate does not exist. But it does exist and I also use it in the next step of my flow! I don't know why is not working, I already updated the page, checked the sharepoint list, changed the name of the column (both sharepoint and power automate flow) but it just doesn't work.

 

Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

    @Anonymous  your ApprovalDate field internal name might be different that is why you may be getting this error. In filter query you need to use field internal name. To get the field internal name follow below steps:

    1. Go to your SharePoint List Settings

    2. Then click on the ApprovalDate field

    3. Then look at your browser URL, at the end of URL you will find Field=<internal name of column>, you that internal name in your filter query.
